Center for 21st Century Music: Slee Sinfonietta

This evening’s Chamber Musicians of the Slee Sinfonietta program is dedicated to the memory of Robert Phillips, composer, musician, and musical administrator whose tragic loss earlier this year has brought family and friends together to celebrate his music, his life and accomplishments, and his generous and unassuming spirit.

Please join us immediately after the concert in the Lippes Concert Hall lobby for a reception, prepared by UB’s band fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi, and offered in celebration of our dear friend and colleague, Rob Phillips.
